hey guys, so i smoked a butt ton of weed last night and made this trappy semi mr carmack sounding tune. Wanted to get some feedback from everyone, good or bad lemme hear it.
Thanks!
I like it man. What type of feedback are you looking for?
anything but if nobody can think of anything to add or say then just having some extra ears on the track is always nice. I appreciate you listening though
The track is really clear and has a good mixdown. A little bit of reverb on the drums hihat and so(separate) to give them a little more space to the sound. The chords are good for fun maybe a glitch effect or 2 on them? might throw off the overall feel though. Maybe give a little more to the bassline before :48 otherwise I honestly cant think of too much more to add. Keep it up!
was def thinking about adding some chords in there but ran into the problem of keeping the sound consistent, eh ill keep trying. Solid input though, I appreciate it
It’s a little tough since its a shorter track. Have you tried splitting the rap part in 2? As for the chords You could have them go along with the bass. Like a one bar stab that either fades out with the tail of the sub frequency wise or reverb/delay them with a decnt hang time to fade out
Vox: The low cut on the vox needs to be bought down some as they could do with a bit more body. They also feel too center and low in the mix. Try some subtle chorus, or manually multi track the vox and process accordingly to give it more stereo presence, also bring them up a couple DB.
Everything else: The kick feels too loud in transient/thump and is quite fatiguing, compress/eq/fader to mix it better. The wide snaps feel too wide, shorten their stereo field to 75/80% or so and high shelf the side channel on mid-side and bring down a couple DB or something.
Over all levels need tightening together, but only slightly, the percussive elements are super smackyouintheface and the texture/vox are struggling for clarity due to the decibel disparity between them and the percussion.
Yeah everythings quite pushed out to the edges and extreme with not so much in the middle ground, both in terms of stereo field (mono, or really wide Haas stereo) and dynamic range (large amplitude disparity, fatiguing tops, struggling elements). Pull the extremes back and smooth the innards outward along both axes to give it more roundness.
The musicality is solid and the groove/arrange is fine.
